We'll do our best to make your visit here interesting and informative. It isn't unusual for a cattle ranch to have horses around, but the horses used and bred here are not just average ranch horses. You will not find sons and daughters of last year's world champions here but you will find some very nice horses which are winners in their own right - here at the ranch as working cow or ranch horses, or in our breeding herd producing work and pleasure mounts to be valued by new owners. Horses which have strong, sturdy, well-balanced bodies and intelligent, trainable minds. As with many ranches, our horses have to cover alot of ground -sometimes under eratic, demanding schedules - they need substance, body, bone, and mind. Producing horses of this quality isn't easy, and it can't be done through good bloodlines alone. These are ranch horses bred and raised in a natural manner.
An APHA stallion, Mr Parteebuilt, (aka Reo) is our senior sire. He is a 1992 sorrel overo; solid, sound and as one visitor said, " He has some timber under him." Ability, Mind, Conformation and Disposition - breeding sire characteristics which produce a horse for work or play. Our junior sire, is an AQHA buckskin named Page Mr Star Bucks (aka RC). His service covers daughters of our senior stallion, Mr Parteebuilt. We look forward to this cross of bloodlines and color. Broodmares of APHA, AQHA and JC registry are due to service from the above two stallions. Mares that have proven themselves under saddle and/or by their resulting foals. The horses are raised out in the open, where their bodies and minds are challenged, (and they learn what a barb-wire fence is). While this is the best environment for the horses, it does create a little more work for us. Newborns are handled as soon as possible and daily visits keep the bonds intact. This way, when it's time to start them, the process begins with a calm, gentle animal that isn't afraid and is willing to learn. Young horses are started lightly as two or three year olds, when they can handle a good day's work without mental or physical setbacks. We don't ask them to be great at any one thing, but good at everything. Time on the ranch does not allow for "an exact training schedule", which is why we value the trainablility and minds of horses produced in our program. The ranch broke geldingand mare pages feature the horses we are currently using but are not for sale. They and the prospects are for your reference to see the potential of our horse breeding program.
We are very proud of our horse program which has placed horses in the Provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario. Our horses have also been sold internationally to the Countries of France and the United States; Texas and California.
